NORTHERN IRELAND AWARDS

That this House notes a number of recent developments in Northern Ireland such as the UK-wide Association of Town Centre Management giving Belfast a prime award as it `showcased how a city effectively linked the daytime, evening, and night-time economies', Londonderry being recognised by the Lonely Planet Guide as the fourth best city in the world to visit in 2013, being described as a vibrant city that is undergoing a renaissance and the holding of the G8 summit in 2013 in Fermanagh; and expresses the hope that economic benefit will be generated as people across the globe recognise the incredible location, scenery and people that exist in Northern Ireland.
